While brothers Jin Chonggui and Jin Chongming hurried back to Xigui, the eldest brother Jin Chongqing, the second brother Jin Chongfa, and the eldest sister Jin Chonghui also gathered at Jin Chongming's home.

As her aunt Zhang Xuefen greeted her eldest brother, sister, and second brother, she murmured in her mind: "How big of a deal is this? Are all these brothers and sisters gathered together?"

Jin Chongqing, Jin Chongfa and Jin Chonghui were also very anxious. What happened?

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting, a van stopped at the gate of Jin Chongming's house. The four of them walked to the gate in unison.

Looking at Jin Chonggui's devastated look, and then looking at Jin Chongming's sad face, everyone couldn't help but become more worried. They gathered around and asked: What happened?

Jin Chongming was afraid of the negative impact of his remarks on the road, so he hurriedly greeted everyone into the house.

Entering the room, Zhang Xuefen asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Jin Chongming hurriedly replied: "I haven't eaten yet."

"Then I'll cook you a bowl of noodles." After saying that, he went to the kitchen to work.

Everyone, Jin Chong would pull Jin Chongming to sit next to him and ask in a low voice: "Yao Yao. What happened?"

The eldest brother Jin Chongqing and the second brother Jin Chongfa also echoed the question.

Jin Chongming glanced at his third brother Jin Chonggui and sighed.

"Hey, the third uncle is in trouble now. He lost some money playing cards."

Jin Chonggui just lowered his head and sighed softly without speaking.

"It's normal to lose money when playing cards. Did you lose a little too much?" The eldest brother Jin Chongqing spoke first.

The second brother, Jin Chongfa, looked at the expressions of the third brother and the youngest brother, and he felt that this matter was probably not a matter of simply losing some money. "Third brother, did you lose a little too much?"

Hearing the second brother ask himself, Jin Chonggui raised his head. "Oh, second brother, this time it's a bit harsh."

"How vicious is it?"

"It's just a bit fierce. Not only did he vomit out what he had eaten, but his large intestine was also dragged out."

What Jin Chonggui said, "The large intestine has been dragged out" is a Western Gui dialect. What it means here is that he not only lost the money he won before, but also lost all his money. The money he won is called

"Eat it in", lose money is called "vomit it out", and "drag out the large intestine" means losing all your money.

When Jin Chonghui heard this, he shook his head repeatedly. "Yao Yao. I usually advise you to play less cards and gamble less, but you just don't listen. What a disaster."

Jin Chongqing: "Oh, this gambling has no depth. Don't be happy if you win, don't be angry if you lose. It's normal to lose and win. But nine times out of ten you lose, so just be like me. I don't want to

It’s someone else’s, and others shouldn’t think about mine.”

This is indeed one of the "advantages" of the eldest brother Jin Chongqing. He never plays cards or gambles. "I don't think about other people's things, and others don't think about mine." This is also his "principle" of life.

But at this time, Jin Chongqing's words seemed a bit sarcastic. Jin Chonghui quickly stopped him.

"Chonggui Yaoyao. Tell me. How much money have you lost?"

"My money is about three to four hundred thousand."

Jin Chonggui said calmly.

When Jin Chongqing heard this, he was shocked. "Yaoyao. How do you have so much money?"

When Jin Chongfa heard this, he thought that this business was really profitable. It seemed that his family had really made money by opening a hotel in Lijiang.

But what Jin Chonggui said next shocked everyone even more.

"I still owe 200,000 water money."

"Water money? Why is water money so expensive? 200,000, you can't dig out that much money in a lifetime."

"Water money is usury." Jin Chongming told his eldest sister.

"usury?!"

Everyone was shocked, surprised, and sighed.

"Usury" is not unfamiliar to rural people. "Usury, compound interest, eat people without spitting out the bones." This is a familiar jingle to their generation.

One sentence explains all the harmful effects of usury.

"What should I do? Yaoyaoah. Why are you so confused?"

Jin Chonghui started to cry. She felt sorry for her third brother and was worried that he might never be able to turn around in this life.

"Third brother, how did you get involved with a loan shark? I've never heard of you saying that."

"I met him at the card table. He's very cheerful. I take a piece of paper and write an IOU, and I'll give you the money."

Just when everyone was talking to each other, Zhang Xuefen shouted from the kitchen.

"The noodles are cooked. Third uncle, you can choose."

"Third brother, let's go eat some noodles. Fill your stomach first."

Jin Chongming invited Jin Chonggui to eat noodles.

The two of them went to eat noodles. The remaining four were in the main room.

Zhang Xuefen saw her eldest sister sighing there, her eldest brother also sighing, and her second brother also looking solemn. In the kitchen, she vaguely heard that her third brother Jin Chonggui had lost money. But she did not hear the specific situation clearly.

"Second uncle, what is going on?"

"You don't know?"

"Hmm. I don't know anything."

"The third time I suffered something terrible, I'm afraid I won't be able to get back up for the rest of my life."

"It's not that serious, right? At worst, you'll lose all the money in the winery."

"His aunt, you don't know. From his own words, he lost almost six to seven hundred thousand."

"Ah! When did the third uncle's family have so much money?"

"Keep your voice down. Of course his family doesn't have that much money. He said he still owes 200,000 in water money. It's a loan shark."

"Oh. That's annoying..."

Everyone was talking quietly about the fate of Jin Chonggui's family.

Jin Chongming and Jin Chonggui returned to the living room after eating noodles, and Zhang Xuefen went to wash the dishes and cook the pot.

"If the third brother didn't do this, it would have happened. You can't get back the money you lost. Just think of spending money to teach you a lesson. Don't take this gamble again in the future. My parents are gone, and we are the only five in the world.

Brothers and sisters, every family can afford to live a good life. Who knew that something like this would happen to the third brother?"

"That's right. Gambling and burning cigarettes can harm people."

"You may not know how powerful this water money is. Its interest rate is as high as 10,000 yuan!"

"Oh my god! If you see ten thousand people in the sky? Do you still want to live?"

“It’s not just a matter of 10,000 yuan, but you’ll also earn compound interest on the full amount.”

"Let's think of some way to help Third Brother. First help him pay back the water money. After passing this level, Third Brother will slowly earn back to everyone."

"Yao Yao. It's not that my eldest brother won't help you. As you know, your sister-in-law and I are both in poor health. We have been relying on medicine jars for half of our lives. Alas, what if I pass away one day?

.I still don’t know what to do with Weiwei. I’m so sorry for this son in my life.”

Jin Chongqing and his wife gave birth to a total of 7 children. The eldest, second, third, fourth, and youngest are all daughters, and the fifth and sixth are sons. The fifth is called Weiwei, and the sixth is called Xiao Ge. The five daughters and the youngest brother are all

They have a family and a career. Only Weiwei is still alone.

Weiwei is actually the smartest one among the seven children. But when he was in college, he had some problems because of his relationship with his classmates. In order to save his female classmates, he dropped out of school. Now he is more than 30, and he has not yet

Married. It is said that he has been wandering in Yunnan. His girlfriend at that time is now the deputy director of the Xigui Propaganda Department.

"Third brother, you know, although your second sister-in-law and I both have jobs, our little salary is only enough to eat. I won't starve you to death, and I won't be able to support you to death. We have saved up through frugality over the years.

I spent a few dollars to marry Ganger and buy a house..."

The eldest brother and the second brother meant that they had no money to help the third child.

"Yaoyao. You also know that your brother Yu and I have worked hard all our lives, just to raise your children. Finally, they have their own families. We can only give them a few grandchildren.

I’m old. I’ve spent my whole life wandering around the edges of the fields, busy morning and night, and ended up just like a mouse stealing rice soup, burying these few mouths..."

The brothers and sisters each had their own difficulties. They told the truth. Faced with such a big hole, the brothers and sisters really had no energy left to help Jin Chonggui. Everyone just sighed and couldn't do anything...

Everyone focused their attention on the younger brother Jin Chongming. It seemed that this burden could not fall on him.

Jin Chongming swallowed with some difficulty and was about to speak. Zhang Xuefen's sharp eyes were like a cold light sweeping towards Jin Chongming.

Jin Chongming knew in his heart that Zhang Xuefen was worried that he would blame this "disaster" on his own family.

Because everyone understands that the more than 200,000 yuan is just to fill a "black hole", it is a "meat bun beating a dog", and there is no return. Let's put it down and have no money. Even if you have money, you can't lend it.

We know that it will only take the year of the monkey and the horse to get it back. Moreover, the possibility of not getting it back seems more certain. Because "a dog can't change its habit of eating shit"...

"Brother, second brother and eldest sister, today we brothers and sisters gathered together to find a way to help the third brother overcome this difficulty. I, Jin Chongming, don't have much ability or ability. I have worked hard day and night with Zhang Xuefen all my life.

I did save some money through hardship.”

"But, you all have seen it. Some of the money bought half of the bus, and some of the money was invested in the brick factory. Apart from some basic living expenses and favors, the family is still barely coping. In fact,

, there is still no money left.”

"Yes, we all understand what Uncle Yao said. Outsiders don't know it, but we sisters still know it. As the saying goes, a snake is as big as a hole. With such a big family property, the expenses will naturally be big." Jin Chonghui took over.

Yaodi said it for a while.

"But everyone knows that loan sharks are the devil who eats people without spitting out their bones. What can't those loan sharks do? We have been brothers and sisters all our lives, how can we watch the third brother end up with his family ruined?

Woolen cloth?"

"Yes, yes. It's just that it's difficult for everyone..."

"Third brother, I heard that you made a lot of money by opening a hotel in Lijiang."
